The Lincoln Road area continues to be a growing concentration of retail, restaurant, and business
activity in the City. As the demand for space on Lincoln Road itself continues to increase, lease rates
have also increased significantly, resulting in some retailers potentially being "priced -out" of Lincoln
Road. This dynamic has lead several property owners to propose opportunities to accommodate
potentially displaced retailers on a newly developed North Lincoln Lane location, at competitive lease
rates.
The City seeks Proposals from development teams which have a proven experience in public - private
developments, and have the financial resources and professional expertise to deliver the highest quality
and economically feasible project(s). In assembling a site (or sites) for possible public - private
development opportunities, Proposers may consider privately owned properties on North Lincoln Lane,
and /or one or more of the following City -owned parcels, to include as part of the proposed development
(See also Site Map on page 14 of the RFP):
A. Parking Lot #25, located on the southwest corner of 17 Street and Lenox Avenue,
(37,500 square feet and currently with 86 parking spaces);
B. Parking Lot #26, located on North Lincoln Lane, between Lenox Avenue and Michigan Avenue,
(41,600 square feet and currently with 107 parking spaces); and
C. Parking Lot #27, located on North Lincoln Lane, between Jefferson Avenue and Meridian Avenue,
(54,000 square feet and currently with 144 parking spaces).
Proposers are advised that the City -owned parcels referenced in Subsections (A) — (C) above are
subject to Section 1.63 (b)(2) of the Miami Beach Charter, inasmuch as any sale, exchange,
conveyance or lease of ten (10) years or longer of any or all of such properties by the City shall
also required approval by a majority vote of residents in a City -wide referendum.

SECTION 1 - OVERVIEW AND PROPOSAL PROCEDURES:
A. INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND
At the July 16, 1997 City Commission meeting, the City Commission approved the issuance of the $21
Million Parking Revenue Bonds, which included funding for the following parking projects:
1. acquisition of land for, and construction of, a new parking garage in the Collins Park / Cultural
Campus area;
2. acquisition of land for a surface parking lot and /or new parking garage in the area between
Lincoln Road and 18th Street, between Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue;
3. expansion, renovation, improvement, and /or repair of various parking garages in the City;
4. renovation, improvement, and /or repair of various surface parking lots in the City; and
5. replacement of parking meter mechanisms with electronic meters.
Over the years, some of the above referenced parking projects have been completed. Currently, the
City owns several surface parking lots through which a private - public partnership can improve and
optimize the use of the City land to provide not only needed parking spaces, but generate economic
development that will further benefit the City.
In the past year, property owners in and around Lincoln Road have approached the City Administration
with various proposals to improve their properties facing North Lincoln Lane. Many of these proposals
include some variation of City participation.
At the October 26, 2011, Land Use and Development Committee meeting, the Committee
recommended that the City Commission consider the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a
public /private development on North Lincoln Lane. At the December 14, 2011, City Commission
Meeting, the City Commission accepted the Committee's recommendation, and authorized the issuance
of this RFP.

SECTION II -- BACKGROUND AND PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The Lincoln Road area continues to be a growing concentration of retail, restaurant, and business
activity in the City. As the demand for space on Lincoln Road itself continues to increase, lease rates
also have increased significantly, resulting in some retailers potentially being "priced -out" of Lincoln
Road. This dynamic has lead several property owners to propose opportunities to accommodate
potentially displaced retailers on a newly developed North Lincoln Lane location, at competitive lease
rates.
The City seeks Proposals for high quality public - private development(s) in Miami Beach, on North
Lincoln Lane, between Alton Road and Meridian Avenue. The proposed development should ideally
enhance and reinforce the vibrancy of Lincoln Road; improve connectivity; enhance /create a public
amenity; and include retail or other commercial uses, with appropriate parking. Proposals must replace
all existing public parking spaces that are displaced by the Proposal. Replacement of the existing public
parking spaces will not be considered excess parking and will not be counted against FAR calculation.
Care also should be given to the streetscape improvements, including pavement surfaces, sidewalk
treatment, landscaping, and lighting. In addition, preference will be given to those proposals that
maximize the economic benefits to the City.
Proposers should have proven experience in comparable developments, and have the financial
resources and professional expertise to deliver the highest quality and economically feasible projects
that meet the objectives outlined in this RFP.
Proposers are also hereby advised that, should their Proposals contemplate the use of any or all
of the City -owned parcels referenced in page 2 and the following Section III of the RFP, pursuant
to Section 1.03(b)(2) of the Miami Beach City Charter, any sale, exchange, conveyance or lease of
ten (10) years or longer of any or all of such properties by the City shall also required approval
by a majority vote of residents in a City -wide referendum.
SECTION III — SITE DESCRIPTION
Proposers may consider privately owned properties on North Lincoln Lane, and /or one or more of the
following City -owned parcels to include as part of the proposed development in their Proposals (See
